Castle & Key Small Batch 2023 (Batch 4)
101 Proof
73% Corn/10% Rye/17% Barley
Purchased at Total Wine & More Indianapolis IN
*NOSE: Dark & Fairly Complex. Dark Fruits, Custard, Barrel Wood, Varnish, Orange Peel, Cinnamon, Leather. Maybe just a hint of graininess at the back.
*NEAT: Solid. Orange Peel, Oak Tannins, Vanilla, Cinnamon Stick, and Mint. A bit of Black Pepper Spice. Decent KYHug with Oak and Mint coating and layering.
*SPLASH: The Vanilla and Mint take Center Stage, but it picks up a Raw Grain Note that I don’t care for.
*VERDICT: I’m happy with the purchase. There are definitely some good bones to work with here and I see this only getting better with future releases.
